Made a new build because the old one behaved strangely, (MSs compiler is so poor) So here is the
<a href="ac3decode821.zip">0.8.21 COPY NOW</A>
and the usual source code with both gui/cli projects etc...
<a href="ac3decode_src.zip">0.8.21 SOURCE</A>.<BR>
Also is fixed the effect where it wouldnt do anything when redoing a new conversion. It should
be faster too, 11x realtime on p3-750. So go for it dudez.

Ok finaly a new version, whats new? well like mpeg2avi PX3 0.1.4 , I am going the GUI, but unlike them, Im being one
step smarter/cooler and making it work in both GUI and CONSOLE mode, so if its run from an icon its in gui, if its
run with args or from dosprompt it acts like the old cli version. Har! Now why did I make it gui ? coz personaly
I was getting tired of typing ;-) So now even if your drunk and half asleep at 4am, you can just drag/drop the ac3
files on it and snooze for 13mins. So get it folks,

              8.18 is done now, a few goodies here, you can save/load codec settings,
              the -44100 option is fixed and also its of higher quality when downsampling.
              Also I have 'taken' the improvements of the official acedec0.6.x
              on the linux side and put them (some) into this build, it should
              be faster and give better quality. Also this should handle some

              a little site redesign because the old look was getting boring,

              8.17 is out now, you can now automaticaly do PCM output without
              that Chooser Box, so it can be scripted much happier now. Enjoy
              here, <a href=ac3decode817.zip>8.17 zip file</a>. Also from now
              on I am including decodevob part of the zip package because its
              damn usefull and is much faster in combination by demuxing the ac3
              first, then decoding the ac3. Demux can take 5mins, and ac3dec can
              be upto 6.5 times real time speed.<br>
              Note to people who request 5.1 output in 3 wav files, yes it will
              be done, patience please. </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> On 24Mar I did upload a fixed ac3dec
              which fixed the 1 channel problem, some wierd compiler effect. Now
              the update, we have a new DECODEVOB which can decode vobs into m2v/ac3
              files, now this special version will autohandle vobs that are encoded
              in multi angles and this will just ignore the extra ones and only
              keep angle 0. Note to hackers: the angle info is stored in the Navigation
              Packets in the second area of the packet. I updated decodevob a
              few hours after posting , fixed a bug where the last segment in
              an angle segment was misoutputed, it sok now. As far as I can see.

              <i>23/Mar/2000 </i>:<br>
              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> AC3Dec fixes the status printouts
              after 1gig of wav written, some other cosmetic fixes in status also.
              But the biggest fix is DIVX2mp4, added some extra options to restore
              your changes, or to do custom ID changes, and also a bug is fixed
              in it. </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              <i>11/Mar/2000 </i>:<br>
              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> New features for ac3dec, these include
              better seeking without currupted audio and an insertMS option to
              insert blank MS of audio into the output file, for those needing
              to sync properly ;)<br>
              Also decodeVOB has been fixed/updated, better support for output
              location which was part broken before and also better spanning from
              1 vob to a second vob without missing data at all, and also fixed
              the writing of the buffered IO which didnt flush the cache if it
              finished half way into a block. Its all technical so basicly you
              just gota know that its all ok now. And also you can specify the
              buffer sizes to with -savesize and -preloadsize options to maxmize
              you thruput. Having a brand new fast HD sure makes things fast.
              Decode time for me of a 2:30hr ac3 took 14minutes. So download away
              dudes. </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              <i>05/Mar/2000 </i>:<br>
              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Ok, a small fix for ac3dec, just the
              last buffer wasnt outputting nicely, and some other minor bits fixed
              and you can now optionly decide the output buffer size too. AAC
              code started, but not complete or working yet. So .814 ready now.
              Grab it. </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              <i>29/Feb/2000 </i>:<br>
              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Decodevob has been updated with a
              little better option, you can specify the output drive now, enjoy
              all.<br>
              Also I do have a future outline of plans to share with all.<br>
              1. incorporate use of the AAC encode DLL (MPEG-2 audio) to produce
              mpeg-2 audio files. This looks easy since the encode is an easy
              to use DLL. Also a possibility is to use the XING encoder too if
              you wish to make mp1-layer2/layer3 audio files quicker than the
              slow official implementation (why are math people so bad at code
              optimization??? tables people , tsk tsk)<br>
              2. A longer term plan is to make a version of ac3dec into a perfect
              Decoder DLL just like the AAC is formated so that it then as a decoder
              could be incorporated into mpeg2avi source, which btw at the same
              time mpeg2avi could do a lot of fixes like the status info to be
              more ac3dec like and handle those anoying crashes and ofcourse add
              cooler options to it. </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              <i>14/Feb/2000 </i>:<br>
              </font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Heres an update of <a href=decodevob.zip>DecodeVOB</a>
              1.1 , supports a few extra commands and multi vob files spanning
              and also output of multiple AC3 files at once, -audio 0 -audio 1,
              you can put multiple of these in.<br>
              Not to mention ac3dec has gone to .8.13, just a few optimizations
              in the heaftiest area (mantisa) and also more efficient buffered
              output to make the HD happy.<br>
              Made a new program, <a href=divx2mp4.zip>DIVX2MP4</a>, this will
              re-convert an AVI/ASF back to MPEG4-v3 codec IDs from the DIVX one,
              why? because we dont want stupid ASF files dependant on a codec
              which is hard to find , we want an ASF made with the latest codec
              and also be able to play back on any Windows OS too. Use it if you
              like, if not, I dont care, but remember, all the DIVX codec is,
              is the true mpeg4 codec , just the ID changed to make it work in
              AVIs, (Why oh why is it called divx, tsk tsk tsk) </font><font color="#FFFFFF"><br>

              , ofcourse its in source and reads/decodes vob really fast and saves
              out the m2v or ac3 file. Enjoy it. Its a hell smaller/easier to

          changed too much so Id rather not totaly mod that release all over again (though id love to take
          out the bbdmux layer and use my fast/lean decoder instead, a combo of decodevob/ac3dec is faster
          than decoding a vob to a wav from the beginning)
          I would still like to integrate the xing mp3 encoder DLL, and 5.1 output (3 wavs), perhaps a plugin
          output architecture??? Also compiling with intels VTune compiler could be better too than MSs.<br></font>
</font><font color="#0000FF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><font color="#9999FF"> v0.8.17- added -pcmwav so you can automaticly output to pcm wavs without chooser box
</font>
<font color="#9999FF"> v0.8.16- status output fixed where it wouldnt wrap to next line.

 v0.8.15- better seeking to ac3 data.
          insertms option added to add blank silence at the front.
          aac stuff is still in beter, its in the source but commented out because its not working.
</font>
<font color="#6666FF"> v0.8.14- buffered write can be set to any size, and some other new args too.
          last buffer also is saved properly.

 v0.8.13- Optimized mantisas to be faster (3%), still the bbdemux code is holding it back
          the new vob decoder has not yet been inserted.
          Added buffered output, so only every 300k is written, not every small block.
          All in all should be faster.

 v0.8.12- Nothing amazing, just a SkipForward/Backword command in realtime listening.
          So if its working for you, no need to download it.

 v0.8.11- Fixed high pitch sound errors, I hope.

 v0.8.10- made status nicer so it doesnt overlap 80 columns
          we now have a beta in_ac3.dll plugin for Winamp
          slightly speeded up math code too, but the de-mux is whats killing
          its speed now, that is hell crap code that needs replacement soon.
          Btw, I forgot to mention that the -44100 conversion option seams to work
          ok.

</font><font color="#3333FF"> v0.8.9 - added fixed elapsed time value (blame old relic code from mpeg2avi)
          added heaps of realtime options for switching streams/ changing volumes
          fixed -length option where it would do one more second before

 v0.8.8 - again, fixed the EOF detection for all levels, should be ok now.
          made -info act just like BBDMUX
		  spanning is 100% now with correct EOF checks etc...
		  version info printed all the time

 v0.8.7 - again, fixed the EOF detection for all levels, should be ok now.
          added more stat info at the end for 'jmm'

 v0.8.6b- fixed reading of ac3 files, detects EOF nicely, sorry, there was
          lots of messy code to go through.

 v0.8.6 - fixed writing last segment of data, and added more precision to
          output seconds status, fixed ac3 input reading. Thanks for checking
          DanniDin.

 v0.8.5 - correctly does multi vob spanning, ie doesnt miss packets and works
          together with any stream
          added option to kill rear/centre/lfe channels if you want to.

 v0.8.4 - hopefully a bit more speedier, if you notice
        - more stats/info in realtime
</font>
 v0.8.3 - 50% faster so it can now basicly do 3x realtime decoding.
        - added -info option to show VOB stream infos
        - added -reargain for adjusting audio
        - its handles premature ending VOBs nicely, without failing/falling over
        - added more stats to the status texts

 v0.8.2 - Audio center channel gain added
        - Seek option now works properly
        - the substream option works now correctly, finaly
        - added max length ability, so you can decide to only
          decode 10 minutes or  83 minutes exactly, either use HH:MM:SS or seconds value

 v0.8.1- substream args fixed, whoops
       - added another inverse squared curved gain control to volume enhancement
         use as -gain2 {1...900} just experiment

 v0.8  - Audio output gain added, use -gain 1 to 500 for percent.
         it is a sliding gain, so only quieter sounds are made louder
         without the loud sounds distorting.

 v0.7  - audio downmixes speedups for other downmix combos
         added working multivob support, any blah_1.vob goes to blah_2.vob
         etc.. until 9
         substream support added via -substream command, use 0x81 or 0x80
         as the hex codes
         * gain control is coming

<font color="#0033CC"> v0.6  - handles more codecs
         much faster decoding
         handles stdin via -- filename (experimental)
         cool processing speed statistics
         * multi vob source support is in experimentation
         * ground work being done for 48000hz to 44100 live conversion

 v0.05 - updated bit_allocate.c (0.5.5), should fix compatibility problems
         with some AC-3 bitstreams.
         corrections to downmix.c, rematrix.c,
         added phase-inversion to uncouple.c
         minor cosmetic changes (statistics report) to user interface

 v0.04 - lfe-channel now mixed at +10dB (instead of +9dB)
         improved resistance to "bad AC3 frames"
         updated downmix module (still not thoroughly tested)

 v0.03 - ac3dec_mci renamed to ac3dec_wave, to avoid confusion
         added ACM (audio compression manager) support, file output
         added downmix module
</font>
<font color="#000099"> v0.02 - integrated BBDMUX with ac3dec_mci, allows ac3dec
         to directly demux AC3 audiostream (0x80BD) from *.VOB files
         (unencrypted VOB files only!)

 v0.01 - first release of AC3DEC for Win32 (ac3dec_mci),
         output to Windows wave routines (waveOut library)
